Do your homework and check out mutual funds. A 15 year history will show you which fund to select. chose a no load fund (one without administrative costs). Also a 529 will be tax free if used for college. A very good choice.

All kinds of people vote. Not enough of those people think highly enough of Trump to make him President but all kinds of people vote.

Investing in Silver is smart...it's demand in industry (because of it's high conductivity) has raised it's value significantly and that trend should continue as the world becomes more technological.

In 2008, an ounce of Silver was worth less than 10 bucks. Today, it's trading for over 30.

Gold has about doubled during that same span, as well.

Yeah ask the Hunts about that.

Don't buy high. I'd say a REIT type investment would be awesome for him as they are great long term.

Thanks, Trump for the civics lesson. We are learning so much about impeachment, the 25th Amendment, order of succession, nepotism, separation of powers, 1st Amendment, obstruction of justice, the emoluments clause, Logan Act, conflicts of interest, collusion, sanctions, oligarchs, money laundering and so much more.

You can put up to $5k/year in them. Right now they are paying 1.76%. If you buy in when there is a fixed rate component you really do well, I have a few that are paying over 4% right now. You can't touch them for 1 year, and then after that if you cash them in you just lose the most recent 3 months interest. After 5 years there is no penalty.
